NO TEWKSBURY IN TEXAS.

We have never had Tewks5ury methods
in Texas, in the management of the state
| institutions which are sustained for the
naturally unfortunate or the vicious elias
ses. Our system, despite the lack
OF facilities for combining prisoners where
they can be worked within walls, thus
blending refol matory with punitive
features, has been IN the main humane
and creditsble, far more creditable than
the contract-lesse system that is in vogue
| in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and
other states. Our institutions for the
! blind, the insane and deaf mutes have all
been operated efficiently and humanity
and of late years the care of the insane
has received an increased degree Of at
tention, coupled with more liberal out
lay of money, that IS indicative of high
state of progress. 1t can be imagined
then how reputable people will
regret to hear that any one of
the state institutions, and especially
that for the care of the insane, should
come under suspicion, as to the manage
ment thereof, to degree warranting leg
islative investigation. The resolution
offered by Mr.. Jones CT Pamela county,
and which was promptly adopted by the
House, will be a genuine surprise to the
people of the whole state, and nothing
short of the most thorough, impartial in
vestigation will satisfy the public. Turn
on the calcium light and let nothing be
kept back. At this stage of the matter
THE GAZETTE cannot venture surmIses
or speculatiOns. There may be grounds
for the suspicious, and on the other hand
it may be that the management of the
Austin Asylum (for the North Texas in
stitutiOn was not mentioned in Mr..
Jones' resolution) will be able
to demonstrate that its operations have
been above reproaCh. For humanity's
sake, as well as for the credit Of the state,
it is to be hoped that the latter SUPPOSE
ton may prove to be the case. THE GA
zETTE is 10th to believe that any impro-
per or inhuman methods could be carried
on in the Austin institution with the sane
ton or knowledge Of the superintendent,
and prefers to believe, until absolute
proof to the contrary is adduced, that the
charges and allegations will be met and
refuted. But let the investigation be
opened and conducted so thoroughly aud
lmpartially that all the truth will come
out and be laid before the people Then
1t will be possible to arrive at fair and
intelligent Judgment of all the questions
involved in the charges. Those who are
most affaCted by these charges will, we
imagine, court such scrutiny and not rest
content until 1t is instituted and con-
cluded.

Texas Geology.
San AntOniD Times.

The Texas House of Representatives
doesn't want q state geological survey.
The members of that body who voted
against the geological bill probably fpd
minerals in the same way water witch
finds water, by twirling a fOrked stiak
between the thumbs. They probably
think "coal baHks'' are in the habit of
pushing their heads up above the earth's
surface and yelling at everybody who
passes. Gold, silver and copper lie
around loose, and the average pedestrian
stubs his toe against iron and lead. OF
course it isn't any trouble to find min
erals in paying quantities, and if it was,
what does Texas want its mineral re-
sources developed for? Texas doesn't
want anything, according to certain en-
bryo statesmen. Especially is it against
all scientific methods OF doing things. -~
The ridicuIe some members of the
House attempted while the bill was pend
ing, and which they doubtless thought
was smart, is about as bad an advertise

HALF the term of Mr.. Cleveland's pres
idency has expired, and his friends and
enemies are summing UP what he has &C.
complshed in that time. OF course both
sides are disappointed, and yet the lnde-
pendent advocate of true Repu5lcanlsm
should remember that he has taught the
people by the judicious exercise of the
veto power, not to depend upon the gen
eral government to do that work which
properly belongs to the states, but that
the people north and south should regard
self-reliance as the bulwark Of their
strength. The negro element has seen
that Republicans can exercise duplicity,
and the devotion Of that party to their
interests is political merely. In word,
candid retrospection of Mr.. CIeveland's
Two years in power convinces one that
though making mistakes, the tenor has
been in a right line, and progressive.

SAN ANGELO is the Quickest interior

Not long since the people of San Angelo

CARDINAL GIBBONS as an AMER
ICAN.

No American citizen has ever paid a
tenderer, grander tribute to his country
and her institutions than did Cardinal
Gibbons in the course Of the address
which he delivered last week, on the &C.
casion of his taking possession of his
titular church in Italy. The honor con-
ferred on MIN was an empty one as
worldly honors go, for it was Only part
of the pageantry and form which Rome
has ever infused into her systems and
practices, but it was notable event and
gave the American Cardinal an opportun-
itY to speak with the whole world (thanks
to newspapers and electricity as audi
tor. 1t was grand opportunity, and the
eminent prelate improved it. Irish by
ancestry, but American by birth and edu-
cation and with thoroughly American as
pirations, he was equal to the emergency
and utilized the occasion to utter words
that cannot fail to impress their weight
and force upon the understanding OF

For myself, as q citizen of the United States
and without closing my eyes to our shortcom-
ings as a nation, 1 say with deep sense OF
pride and gratitude that belong to country
where civil government holds over us the
33is OF its protection without interfering with
us in the legitimate exercise Of our sublime
mission as ministers eff the gospel of Christ.
Our country has liberty without license, and
authority without despOtism. She rears no

with all the world. She rests secure in
the consciousness of her strength and her
good will toward all. Her harbyrs are open to
welcome the honest emigrant who comes TO
advance his temporal interests and find q
peaceful home. ut, while we are Ecknowl-

have more than ordinary weight. They

A Iife-like and powerful picture of the
romantic era in the history Of Texas forty
years ago, this mastery story Of love and
adventure deals with the chivalrous side
of Indian life, the magnificent daring Of
the famous Texan Rangers, the patri-
archal and hospitable manners Of the race
of opulent Southern planters, and con-
dition of affairs on the border which has
now become historical and which affords
magnificent scope to the pen Of the novel
list. From first to last the reader is
treated to a rapidly moving panorama Of
startling events and situations which
keep the mind intent and the interest IN
abated. The first chapters of this thrill
ing romance appeared in the Fort

The persistent determination on the part
of EMPLOYERS to- refuse to acknowledge

And they are significant in their teaching
that civil liberty is as essential to the de-
velopment of religious progress and en-
lightenment, as the religious spirit which
is the essence of theological systems and
operations. Let US hope, in conclusion,
that the Cardinals calm judgment Of the
outcome as to the solution of the social
problems now occupying the considera-
ton of his countrymen may prove accu-
rately prophetic.

TO THE LIQUOR INTEREST.

While it Is probable that liquor will be
sold here under license of law, until
all of US now on the stage of action have
passed away, it is always wiser to pre-
pare for any emergency, and as it is
possible the prohibitory idea may prevail,
it is as well to tender few words of
assurance to those interested financially
in the liquor traffic, who fear that a
victory for the Prohibitionists will
compel an immediate or early closing OF
their business, thus entailing more or
less peculiar loss upon those engaged in
the calling, because of inability to dis
pose of stocks and fixtures or collect
outstanding debts. By reading the pro-
posed article, which was published in
THE GAZETTE Thursday CT last week, it
will be seen that in the event
the amendment is ratified the Leg
islature is directed to enact laws
for carrying out the provisions of the
amendment. The next reg ular session of
the Texas Legislature will not convene
until January, 1889, and laws enacted at
that session would be made operative
some time during that year. It is prob
able the Governor, supposing the amend
ment is carried, will deem it his duty to
convene the Legislature in special SEES
sion, to pass the necessary laws above
alluded to and fix the date of such session
early next year. But General Ross is q
conservative man, who will not lose
sight, under such circumstances, of the
vast interests involved, and it is safe to
count on fair aud conservative course
on his part. He Will not exercise un-
seemly haste, We feel sure, and even if
prohibition is carried next August, it is
altogether probable that at least year
will elapse from that time until the H.
ceased liquor tr&ffic ceases.
